I think the best measure of success is whether you can look back and say "I would do it all again".

Crank, I loved your IPL 5 perfomance. I follow you since this tournament and always had great esteem of you.
Axiom was great. You didn't performed that well but we always had some of you here and there in the scene. And it was nice to have koreans a bit more open to the foreign scene. It will feel empty without you all.

I wish luck and success to all you in whatever steps you take, and will miss you all.

Greetings from France.

Sad that stuff has to end like this. Wish you the best in the future CranK, as with all other Axiom players.

Even after John talk to me on skype about his condition, they still worried about us...

They are just too good to us.

As some of you may know, I was the one who was dying and retiring after leaving SlayerS. I can't imagine I could get support, love by fans, and live happily like this if John and Genna didn't help me. I already haven't competed tournament at all, but I wanna announce today I'll completely retire as a SC2 pro. From now on, I'll focus on only caring Axiom until everybody move to their place and find a new team to continue their career.

After everything is done, I may stream until I find another job or other job in eSports. I'm not popular and big streamer but I'll keep it up to support my wife and the family that my best friends John and Genna made. Showing John and Genna all Axiom members are doing well after Axiom disbands is our job to make them relief. I want to thank to ppl who has been cheering, supporting for Axiom and also really sorry that we haven't made good result lately. I really hope everybody will cheer for John and his family to stay stronger.


This just hit me in the feels. TB is a good person and so is everyone on axiom

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think Team Salmon gets stretched a bit thin with all the gigs they're given. I think Afreeca should consider looking for a new English language caster for Code A next year. If only there were someone available who has an excellent knowledge of Starcraft 2, can speak fluent English, and can cast live from their studios.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

Crank will be fine. Sure it's sad now that he retired and even sadder considering TBs condition, but Crank is very inteligent and kind guy.He could become full time coach or even caster as mentioned few posts before if he chooses to stay in eSports.

If not,he'll have no problem to do almost whatever he wants, especially since he has Olimoley by his side and together they're invincible dynamic duo, just like John and Genna.

Crank if you'll read this - see you on your next stream but first take care of everything you need/want to do
